Ace Combat 6: Kaihô heno senka

Just another quick review here, as I must admit I grew tired of the game after only a couple of sessions.

Whilst Ace Combat 6 is nice to look at and the controls are responsive, the story is impenetrable (which I accept is my fault for joining in game six, rather than game one) and the dogfights quickly revolve, as they do in all my experience of dogfighting games, into endless spinning to try and gain the shot on an enemy who is also spinning to do the same to you.

Specific to this game I found it difficult to work out exactly what the target was supposed to be. The opening mission involves a bombing run that you have to quell by destroying the bombers, but there were so many targets I was happily shooting down planes only to fail the mission as apparently these weren't the right planes I was supposed to be after.

So after that happened a couple of times, I decided that life was too short, and on to the next game.
